I saw this a while ago: http://www.exaflop.org/docs/x86still/
Someone used an old 233MHz K6 to distill rum, using the heat from the 
processor to vapourise cheap rum, and the fan assembly to cool it, and 
pummeled the processor to get it nice and hot.

IIRC Espresso machines involve making a whole load of steam. I can see a 
two bird, one stone situation forming here! You could get a nice strong 
coffee and generate some MD5 hashes at the same time...

I Googled for one earlier today.

It's a little exotic though. Seeing as it's GPLed I might have to use it 
as a basis for a more Western distro...
